I think it can. Yes, we've set TASK_WAKING. But, at least the task
itself can change its state back to TASK_RUNNING without calling
schedule. Say, __wait_event()-like code.

Well, this surely breaks the code like

CONDITION = true;
wake_up_process(p);

At least we need mb() before we check task_state the first time.
